* 2015's ''The Pale Emperor'' is their best reviewed record in many years, and probably their most ''rocking'' album in even longer. From a little bit before the album came out, Emigrate did a song with only Manson on vocals (Richard Kruspe, frontman of Emigrate and guitarist of Rammstein, apparently pretty much forced him, despite Manson claiming Richard's vocals sounded better) called "Hypothetical". It's awesome. The album starts with a great one: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNTjM3_0N80 Killing Strangers]]". The beat is one to swagger coolly away from an explosion to, and it's a lyrical BadassBoast on top! In fact, the track was so badass, the producers of ''Film/JohnWick'' saw fit to include it in the film.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG5sFUROGX0 Cry Little Sister]], used in ''Film/TheNewMutants'' and the trailer to ''Series/Titans2018'' is a industrial cover that's even better than the orignal.
* Manson's cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bX3HhIqigw The End]] by Music/TheDoors is a dark and gritty cover of the orignal.

** "The Beautiful People" is a SignatureSong for Manson with a blazing, EarWorm riff.

* For movie soundtracks, if you watched the ''Flim/ResidentEvil'' movies before, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L7mZH2u3Qc "Resident Evil Main Theme"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUNNXecb6nA "Seizure of Power"]] are their two must-know works for you, they captured the atmosphere of Umbrella Corporation and zombie apocalypse.

-->''You can't take this from me/Forbidden in Heaven and useless in Hell''

** The title track marks the point in ''Antichrist Superstar's'' concept where the protagonist finally goes off the deep end and becomes a villain. It's one of the heaviest songs in Manson's repertoire, complete with a crowd favorite "HEY" chant and a big fat EpicRiff. Still a concert staple.

* ''Music/SmellsLikeChildren,'' a remix album of ''Music/PortraitOfAnAmericanFamily'', is either a mess or a fascinating sonic collage depending on who you talk to, but the cover of "Sweet Dreams" is sleazy, indispensable awesome.

* "This Is The New Shit" is basically DeadpanSnarker: The Song, and the stuttering guitars make it even better.

** "Irresponsible Hate Anthem," for as over-the-top offensive as it is, is possibly the best album opener in Manson's catalog.

** "The Last Day On Earth" and "Coma White," which end ''Mechanical Animals.'' Both power ballads, both incredibly bleak in their own way, both beautiful songs.

* ''Music/HolyWoodInTheShadowOfTheValleyOfDeath'' has classics "Disposable Teens," "The Fight Song" and the particularly cutting "The Nobodies."
